Be careful not to blame yourself if someone rejects Christ. If you do, you might be tempted to take credit when someone accepts him.

Twenty-nine years ago, I came to faith in Christ after a gentleman from the Gideon's International gave me a free copy of the New Testament Bible. I started in Matthew and read all the way to Ephesians 2 when it finally clicked for me. After reading about salvation by grace through faith, I cried out to Jesus for his forgiveness and surrendered my whole life to Him. At that moment, I became a new person.

We need to step into certain uncertainty. Without faith it is impossible to please God.

God will often give you more than you can handle so you can learn to depend on Him rather than on yourself.

The truth: you have what you need. Watch out for excuses. Whenever you're tempted to whine about what you don't have, remember that God has given you everything you need to do everything He wants you to do.

If you want what NORMAL people have, do what normal people DO. If you want what FEW people have, do what few people DO.

Your prayer for someone may or may not change them, but it always changes YOU.
